This is from an assignment from English where I'm trying to get opinions of people on the election and protests in Iran. In the survey, I'm just asking whether you thought the protests were justified and if we should have interfered and what would have happened if they had succeeded as well as some demographic questions.

glad to see you still have all limbs attached. You are from there what are we looking here, can the green wave win?
Nah, I'm typing with my feet. Lost my hands when I tried stealing an apple in the Beverwijkse Bazaar.
Seriously though, since I am not living there, it is difficult to say. But the “green wave” cannot expect to win by force as long as the annual number of pilgrims to Mashhad still outnumbers the combined street demonstrators of Teheran, Shiraz, Hamadan, and so on.
Furthermore, the only way a Regime Change™ can occur in Iran, is if it is a political revolution, not a violent one. Many people in Iran still regard the street rioting with the same disapprobation as I assume you, Fragony, would an anarchist street riot outside your door. In the end they associate the reformist movement with street thugs. No, it would have to be a peaceful “revolution”.
In that regard, the ultra-religious folks are politically unessential, they'll vote for the kookiest kook on the list no matter what, but the people who truly put Imadinnerjacket in power were the (mostly rural and poorly educated, a bit rude, I know) lower classes. And I am pretty sure they're currently the most powerful voting group in Iran
The reformist wing (mostly educated urban folks) forgets about them in every single election, and unless the poor folks realize that Imadinnerjackets promises of better times for the poor are unlikely to happen anytime soon, they'll continue to vote populist and conservative.
So until the reformists get the lower classes on their side, they're not going to win anything.

Took the survey, surprised by how Obama-centric it was. Maybe the title of the survey and thread should be changed to something like, "Iranian Election: It's All About Us!"

That wasn't intended and actually, I thought his response was good in that instance. Perhaps some of the questions could have been combined to not look like that.

It was originally intended as just the US reaction to the Iranian Election, it was expanded a bit so it could encompass more but that was the original idea.

Ahh, I have not thought of that. No, really, I am not being sarcastic. I suppose that does make you right...
I only suggested it as he posted a link we cannot access and I saw on the site that you could download the results. Only reason why I suggested it.

Download1. Do you feel the recent Iranian Election was fair? Why or why not?
answered question 33
1. No, because I believe everything FoxNews told me about it. Sun, Oct 11, 2009 1:24 AM Find...
2. No. The Iranian System of Government operates with a clandestine prerogative, both internally and externally. Any election in Iran, as has been showed, is ultimately decided by the Ayatollah. Sun, Oct 11, 2009 1:24 AM Find...
3. If it was fair, it would be unlikely that the protests would have been anywhere near as large or as persistent. The lack of outside scrutiny and the many establishment figures voicing concern suggest that something dodgy happened. Fri, Oct 9, 2009 11:18 PM Find...
4. No. There are various voting irregularities, such as Achmadinejad gaing a majority of votes in Luristan, despite there being a Lur candidate and ethnic minorities in Iran having a long history of voting for candidiates of the same ethnicity of them. Others, such as the fact that there was only one round of voting all point to the very likely conclusion that the election was rigged. Fri, Oct 9, 2009 9:57 AM Find...
5. I believe it was unfair, largely due to the inability of counter establishment parties to get the approval to have candidates. There was a fair amount of vote rigging and then we saw street riots which were suppressed by political militias and the police. I see that as in the 30s when German SA and SS would work with the police against dissenters. Wed, Oct 7, 2009 7:07 PM Find...
6. No.
-Inequal coverage of candidates on state media.
-Incumbent winning majorities in areas where most of his detractors live, and other signs of fraud
-Refusal to conduct a recount Wed, Oct 7, 2009 4:51 PM Find...
7. Absolutely not. The evidence of fraud was overwhelming. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 6:27 PM Find...
8. It was not fair, as it had a strong indication of being rigged, but I nevertheless support Ahmadinezhad, as I appreciate his hard-line, mostly honest, and neoconservative stance. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 3:13 PM Find...
9. No the election was interferred with however it is likely the result would have been the same but any interference to bump up a result is wrong Tue, Oct 6, 2009 3:03 PM Find...
10. No, I do not. Personally, I believe Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rigged the election in order to stay in power. Mir Hossein Mousavi showed remarkable diplomacy in the face of the Iranian regime. The violence used against his supporters following the election results was inhumane and unjust. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 1:16 PM Find...
11. No, it was pretty obvious that it was manipulated, if not just by the amount of people protesting against it. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 12:46 PM Find...
12. Not completely. The results about the election came in way too fast, and Mir Hossain Moussavi was contacted even before the election had ended telling him that he had won, a statement which was later retracted. It's just way too faulty. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 8:34 AM Find...
13. No. rigged. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 5:41 AM Find...
14. Sure. Unless vote fraud is actually PROVED. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 5:25 AM Find...
15. No, lack of 3rd party moniters, excesses ballots... Tue, Oct 6, 2009 1:28 AM Find...
16. The election results were almost certainly rigged. The statistical analyses of the voting and the unlikely distribution of votes in some areas points to vote rigging. The elections were hence not fair. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 12:01 AM Find...
17. I don't know but it seems suspicious. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 11:21 PM Find...
18. I can't know for sure what actually happened. Alot of media coverage seemed to point to irregularlities in the election and the goverment didn't paint itself as on open democratic one by its responses to the protests. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 10:16 PM Find...
19. The election was fair. Our lizard shadowy overlords decided not to intervene, therefore there was no need to comment anything else on it. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 10:14 PM Find...
20. No, it was a fraud. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 10:03 PM Find...
21. No, because of vote-rigging. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:34 PM Find...
22. No, nothing is fair. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:34 PM Find...
23. I do feel it was fair. Ahmadinejad is not the real power in Iran; that would be Ayatollah Ali Khamanei. Mousavi was Prime Minister of Iran for much of the 1980's, and he didn't have much power. That lay with the clerics and Khomeini himself, though he and Rafsanjani (the President) did run administration, infrastructure, and the military to some extent during the Iran Iraq War.
Since Ahmadinejad isn't the true leader of Iran, whether or not Mousavi would have been elected doesn't matter.
And much of the population really does support Ahmadinejad. Generally the educated elite were the ones who voted for Mousavi, and they are relatively few in number. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:28 PM Find...
24. No. From what I have been lead to believe, it was rigged. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:09 PM Find...
25. Not really, as the election was subject to 'approval' by a HIGHER POWER (as it were). Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:07 PM Find...
26. No. Too many shenanigans, from the mobile phone interruption, to the blocking of Facebook, and not to mention the potential rigging of the elections Mon, Oct 5, 2009 6:11 PM Find...
27. No Mon, Oct 5, 2009 4:04 PM Find...
28. No, the results seem like they are bs. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 3:38 PM Find...
29. Not sure. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 2:57 PM Find...
30. Not entirely, but who can know for sure? Mon, Oct 5, 2009 2:56 PM Find...
31. I don't know enough about the election to say whether or not it was fair Mon, Oct 5, 2009 3:23 AM Find...

Download1. Were the protests justified? Why or why not?
answered question 31
1. They should learn their place and give us lots of oil. Sun, Oct 11, 2009 1:24 AM Find...
2. Yes, freedom of speech of against the government should always be justified. Sun, Oct 11, 2009 1:24 AM Find...
3. People have a right to protest peacefully if they feel like it. Obviously many people felt that way. Fri, Oct 9, 2009 11:19 PM Find...
4. Yes. Iranians, unlike say Saudis, live in a Quasi-Democracy, and I am sure that were there any equivalent fraud in most other democracies, then protests would happen there as well. However, I think a distinction should be made between protesting for a fair election, and protesting for Mousavi to be elected, as there was a real chance that Achmadinejad would win. Fri, Oct 9, 2009 9:59 AM Find...
5. Yes, I believe all people should have a right to peaceably protest. While there were some hulligans that did start fires and stuff it seems that this sort of action started only after the suppression of the previously peaceful protests had begun. Wed, Oct 7, 2009 7:09 PM Find...
6. I'd say "yes" but anybody should be free to protest no matter for their cause. Surely there's something wrong with a government deciding that a protest against that very government is unjustified and so needs to be beaten into submission. Wed, Oct 7, 2009 4:53 PM Find...
7. Yes, justified. A transparently rigged national election is grounds for protest. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 6:28 PM Find...
8. The protest were hardly justified as it was merely the youth seizing the chance to vent their frustration and have "rebellious fun". Such behaviour is altogether too common worldwide. The youth in general are not informed sufficiently to make serious political decisions. Rioting is hardly helpful either, especially in a state that has strict regulations surrounding like conduct. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 3:15 PM Find...
9. Yes absolutely people have a right to protest Tue, Oct 6, 2009 3:03 PM Find...
10. Yes, they were. The people had the right to protest after they had an election stolen from them by a leader they disliked. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 1:18 PM Find...
11. If the election was indeed unfair, which I believe it was, yes, the protests were justified. It was a group of people fighting to be heard and everyone should be happy about that. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 12:46 PM Find...
12. Yes. unrepresentative governance, despotic rule. rigged elections. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 5:42 AM Find...
13. It is always justified to protest against ANY government Iran has. "Reformist" or not. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 5:26 AM Find...
14. Yes, peaceful protests are always justified Tue, Oct 6, 2009 1:29 AM Find...
15. Yes, absolutely. The protests reflect the fact that Democracy in Iran is largely an illusion and a larger feeling that voting was rigged - were I in the situation of the Iranians I would be protesting too. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 12:06 AM Find...
16. Yes but I have major differences with both the government and the protestors. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 11:22 PM Find...
17. Yes, because the election was most probably fraudelent and the people deserve at least the small level of choice they were offered... Mon, Oct 5, 2009 10:17 PM Find...
18. The protests was an illusion and didn't change the minds of our oppressors. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 10:15 PM Find...
19. Of course. Iranians have every the right to protest against the tyrannical government of Iran. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 10:03 PM Find...
20. No, violent protests are not justifiable. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:35 PM Find...
21. Yes, they were a legitimate response to a totalitarian government. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:34 PM Find...
22. They were not, as my previous explanation would indicate. However, these protests led to some interesting geopolitical ramifications and they certainly altered Iran's foreign policy and the world's Iran policies. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:29 PM Find...
23. Yes, citizens should protest governments that act unjustly. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:09 PM Find...
24. Sure. The people were getting a raw deal. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 9:08 PM Find...
25. Technically, any protest can be justified with any legitimate reason. As far as I'm concerned, they had a more than good enough reason to protest. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 6:14 PM Find...
26. Yes Mon, Oct 5, 2009 4:04 PM Find...
27. Of course the protests were justified. The people felt that the elections had been rigged, and that their voting was made meaningless. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 3:43 PM Find...
28. I never learned what they were specifically protesting, so I do not know. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 2:56 PM Find...

Download1. Was Obama justified in reacting the way he did to the protests? Why or why not?
answered question 27
1. Yes, it's the Iranian People's decision to protest their government, not America's. Sun, Oct 11, 2009 1:27 AM Find...
2. He was, because he won a Noble Peace Prize because of it. Sun, Oct 11, 2009 1:25 AM Find...
3. Yes he was, the conservative elements would have been all over any US rhetoric about vote rigging, and would have called it interference by the Great Satan (they have historical precedent, eg the coup which brought the Shah to power), a favourite topic of theirs. It would have been bad for the protesters to be associated with foreign countries. Fri, Oct 9, 2009 11:24 PM Find...
4. I think he had no choice. By offering words of support, he would have reinforced the Cleric's claim that it was all an American plot, and any millitary action is totally unjustifiable, would only serve to unite Iran against external threats and squash all chance of a reformist leader gaining power. Fri, Oct 9, 2009 10:02 AM Find...
5. Yes, the US has had a very troubled past with Iran, it's best that we don't meddle. His actions or lack there of allowed the Supreme Leader to say that there was little signs the protests were the doing of foreign agents and sympathizers. Wed, Oct 7, 2009 7:13 PM Find...
6. Involving yourself in another country's business requires justification, staying out of it doesn't. He probably did the smartest thing possible in his position. Wed, Oct 7, 2009 4:59 PM Find...
7. Yes. Any appearance of American interference would have provided the mullahs with a convenient excuse to justify violence against their own people. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 6:30 PM Find...
8. No, he should have simply ignored it. It is not his business to intervene in other nation's affairs especially due to him being a strong left-wing US politician, and a self-professed non-interventionist. Imperialism is hardly his forte either... Tue, Oct 6, 2009 3:22 PM Find...
9. Yes the limits of American power are plain to see any major interference by USA would play into the hand of extremists Tue, Oct 6, 2009 3:05 PM Find...
10. Yes. He has been criticized by some for not responding quickly or strongly enough, but I believe he handled the situation sensibly. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 1:34 PM Find...
11. No, he did not respond in the supportive way he should have. The blame cannot be entirely on him, however, as the congress made no move, nor did other countries. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 12:49 PM Find...
12. No. matter of principle. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 6:01 AM Find...
13. He was justified as I understand why he didn't take a stronger stance. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 12:09 AM Find...
14. Yes as supporting the protestors would have lead to bad situation with the U.S government and the Iranian government. Mon, Oct 5, 2009 11:24 PM Find...

answered question 27
1. Very little that would have given better results, the Iranians don't want the US to interfere with their politics, as much as Americans would dislike the thought of Iranians giving support to one side or another in our politics. Sun, Oct 11, 2009 1:27 AM Find...
2. Bombing Iran. Sun, Oct 11, 2009 1:25 AM Find...
3. None which would likely have helped the situation. Fri, Oct 9, 2009 11:24 PM Find...
4. There were no realistic alternatives. Fri, Oct 9, 2009 10:02 AM Find...
5. Verbal encouragement of protesters, setting up servers to give proxy IPs to Iranian internet users. More sanctions, arming protesters with weapons or more cameras. Wed, Oct 7, 2009 7:13 PM Find...
6. Military intervention is obviously out of the question. I think there's a real risk that explicit moral support for the protestors would have backfired. I'm not sure if he could have put even more sanctions on Iran than there were at the time (the whole nuclear situation) but economic sanctions rarely seem to work anyway. Wed, Oct 7, 2009 4:59 PM Find...
7. He could have made statements in support of the Greens, which would have accomplished nothing. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 6:30 PM Find...
8. Ignored it. Ideally that is. If I were in his place, taking US interests in account, I would have funded a coup, without actually sending real troops there. However, I am a firm Machiavellian, so this is hardly unorthodox for me. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 3:22 PM Find...

10. He realistically couln't do much of anything else. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 1:34 PM Find...
11. He, along with the rest of our government should have supported the protesters. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 12:49 PM Find...
12. Outspoken support for the electorate. Tue, Oct 6, 2009 6:01 AM Find...
